Report: Social Business | Social Media in Politics
The impact of Social Media on politics and on democratic participation continues to divide opinion. The following report on the use of social media within politics includes the first comprehensive review of the use of social media by Irish political parties, politicians and government bodies.
The “Social Media in Politics” report looks at how use of Social Media is impacting politicians and political engagement, both here in Ireland and internationally.
It includes:
• The tactics used by President Obama and other world leaders and governments to engage with their peoples on Social Media
• A detailed analysis on use of Social Media by Irish political parties, politicians, state departments and bodies
• Examples and case studies of the positive and negative consequences of democratic participation on Social Media
John Twohig, Managing Partner of The Ahain Group, said “Our analysis indicates that many Irish political parties and their leadership are yet to develop an overarching strategy (or party line) when it comes to their Social Media presence, and, as a result, individual members are more often left to their own devices.”
